I'd probably take the over on that score

I'm too nervous to make a prediction on that. I don't know why but I'm really worried that this game is going to stay close for a while. I'd take the 23 points and hope to God I'm way wrong.

jacob are you a handicapper? Do you like to bet on the games? I come from a long line of gamblers. I'm 62 and when I was young I thought everyone had 3 phones in their house. It's funny to hear national people shocked that Pete Rose gambled. Everyone gambled. I remember going to reds games and people would bet on whether the next pitch would be a ball or strike. I sold newspapers at river downs in the day and Pete was always there. Newport,Covington were wide open for gambling. They didn't even hide the tote boards. Football cards were circulated weekly. Ah the good old days.

Haha that's awesome. I don't like gambling very much, but I LOVE the process of setting lines. I find that so interesting. I can listen to podcasts at work and the majority of them are from the handicapping angle. The only betting I do is on SportsPlays. They give you $1 to start with and if you get up to $200 you can cash out...hasn't happened for me yet! I also do a season long pool with a group of 20 where we put in $50 for the season and pick 15 college and 5 NFL games each week against the spread. Then do the bowl games and NFL playoffs. I'm currently in 6th and Top 5 get paid out. I would never be able to be a pro bettor or anything close, and I'm not foolish enough to believe otherwise. But my dream job would be to set lines.

sounds like you got a good handle on it and it's for fun.ive seen lots of people lose there paycheck trying to beat the races. A. Good trend to follow is in the NBA playing against teams playing back to back road games. Used to be close to 60 percent. If we ever meet up I'll tell you some stories about past posting bookies you'll get a kick out of.

Actually I think you are right here. The better bet is the 23 points. I do think we score about 90 and them around 50-60 or so.
 
What I would really like to see from the Cats is a commitment to some kind of style. We are approaching two big OOc games and we need to be prepared. Hope they throw some zone at us and give us a shot to work on our offense.

We need an offensive "Goon Squad"...lol!!
 
You know what I noticed tonight is we are playing in rythmn. I think that is the difference as opposed to playing fast we are in rythmn. I in looking back at the X and Butler game I never felt we were in rythmn.

Clark and Ellis flashing to the high post with a purpose is a beautiful thing go see.
 
Early our shots were in the flow. When you can step into your shot your going to shoot a much higher percentage. Getting up the floor and moving the ball allows that to happen.
